Our Own Way

The iron gate, it swung fast shut
Reminding me of life, complete
We must pass through on our way
Relying then, on our own feet

Walking forward into day
Each day anew, with hopes to free
Releasing bonds we so abuse
As eyes open, so wide to see 

Follow pavement, so laid before
Or make our own, to place our feet
Just move ahead, one step each time
To voyage into destiny
